[ YOU LOOK AWAY FROM ME ] wormwood - MERGED - 09-10-2019

finally, some peace and quiet. he was happy that mirror finally decided to go to sleep, but that meant he couldn't move. he couldn't go interact and meet people so he was stuck in the dingy little house they had claimed. it wasn't really his style, but he could live with that. he looked down at his brother's head, briefly wondering if he could just.. split. just leave, be done with it, but.. he knew he couldn't, he knew he would get in trouble, and then that would be the end of it..

but was it really worth the pain?

he sighed, laying his head down on the hard wood floor and closing his eyes until he heard a bit of a knock on their front door. hesitating, he cleared his throat. "u-uhm.. its open." he called softly, lifting his head back up.

Wormwood, despite the fact that he had been so widely shunned as a cub, was actually a very extroverted kind of person, if that wasn't already self evident. He preferred to think the best of people, even when it was extremely difficult to do so, and he also liked to make friends and think of others as his family. Pretty much everyone in Tanglewood had some degree of friendship with him just by virtue of residing within the group, but Image was a special case because of the fact that they shared something in common. Well, not only one, but actually several things in common. Both of them were currently stuck in undead and rotted forms, and both of them had some pretty big issues with their brothers, although Worm was probably the luckier of the two, since his brother wasn't around anymore. Still, Poetking had never been as outright abusive as Mirror seemed to be, and Worm had honestly believed him to be good, up until the day that he had disappeared. When it came to Mirror? He wasn't really quite so sure.

That was why he had decided to go and visit the pair, preferably just Image, but ready to deal with Mirror if he absolutely needed to. So, the hellhound had strolled up onto the deck of the multi headed pair's deck, knocking against the door and blinking when he heard Image's soft voice from inside. It sort of caught him off guard, since he had only thus far heard the faintest scraps of words from Image so far, before Mirror inevitably ended up cutting him off. Gently pushing open the door, Worm immediately realized why Image was actually speaking when he saw that Mirror's head was down, drifted away in sleep. Stepping inside, the canine carefully shut the door silently behind him before barking softly, sitting back on his haunches and tilting his head to one side as he eyed Mirror, "Hmm... hello there, Image. I came over to say hello to one – er, a couple of my new neighbors. See how the two of you were getting acclimated to living in Tanglewood, you know?"

he wasn’t used to people caring enough to ask how he was doing. his ears pinned back, eyes a bit wide. how was he supposed to respond? he was absolutely miserable, it was too hot, his brother was snoring like a damn steam engine. "i guess you could say that we’re settling.. mirror, at least. "

When Image mentioned that Mirror was settling in just fine, Worm could hear the silent unsaid phrase of "but I'm not", and he felt his ears pin back. He hated the thought of anyone not enjoying their time in Tanglewood, but he especially didn't like how it seemed as though Image was being forced around by Mirror, instead of having any input of his own. Worm could understand they had a unique predicament in the whole sharing a body thing, but he still maintained that Image deserved just as much of a chance to give his opinion as Mirror did. It really did remind him way too much of his childhood, when he and Poetking hadn't exactly shared a body, but the other had always overshadowed him in every way when it came up his parents, and just in general when it had come to the pride. Still, he didn't snap at Image, not wanting the other to think that he was angry at him. Instead, the male just gently dragged his claws against the flooring beneath him, to get his frustration out. He then barked softly, a frown on his face as he eyed Mirror bitterly, "Settling... I didn't ask how Mirror was settling in, I asked how both of you were doing. Trust me, I'm sure he will let me know how he's doing. Hardly ever shuts up." He kept his voice low, as to not wake the other head up, but he still let the annoyance slip into his voice even as he kept it soft.

poor image felt his face go hot with a blush, looking down in slight shame. truthfully? he hated any place that his brother drug him to, it was impossible to do anything that he wanted to do, and he hadn’t wanted to leave their last home. he sighed softly and kept his foggy eyes on his leg. "truthfully.. i hate it here." he mumbled. "no offense to you or anyone here, of course, but.. i find it very, very hard to like any place these days."

When Image explained his true feelings, Wormwood slowly nodded before barking softly, moving to sit down and relax as he explained, "I can understand that really, if I'm reading things right, with you and Mirror. It seems like he pretty much forces the two of you around..." He chuckled a bit weakly and said as he shook his head, his tail sinking down behind him, unusual compared to his usual enthusiastically wagging tail behind him, "You know... when I first joined Tanglewood, I didn't actually want to be here either."
